Servicing Marzocchi MXC Air

Hello all
I have a pair of 2002 Marzocchi MXC Air forks (without ECC) and would like to learn how to strip and service them, having never done so myself. 3 or 4 years back I popped a seal somewhere and shock oil started spurting up the drive side stanchion. Back then I had more money than time so I just paid around £70 to get them serviced and got a few more years out of them but now the same thing has happened (opposite side) and this time I'd like to invest in the tools required and do the job myself.
Can anyone kindly write me a walk-through (or link me to a service guide, Google has failed me on this) and let me know what tools and parts are required? I'm hoping whatever parts I need (seals I guess) are still available. I'm ok with removing and refitting the forks (fitted them myself after-market), but totally clueless about the inner workings!
Thanks.

download a manual from 2000/2001/2002 and follow the info there.
things have not changed much."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks for the reply. The only manual I can find is the owners manual

It has fitting and adjustment info but nothing about stripping the forks down or replacing seals. Is there a service manual available?Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.0 -
